Be.
Synopsis:
“Feminine? Masculine? Why can’t we just… be?”
The moment you were born, the doctor announced your gender, and the world put you in a box. And maybe that’s a comfortable box, and you’ll sit there happily for the rest of your life. But maybe it’s not… and what happens then? ‘Be.’ follows three characters trying to break out of their boxes, as they discover what it means to be ‘Her’, ‘Him’ or ‘Them’, in a story intertwined with the authentic collective experiences of over 60 real people.

Something Blue
Synopsis:
A bride awaits her groom,

With the woman dressed in blue?
